Abstract: On décrit un système et un procédé de communication entre des réseaux, en particulier des réseaux généralement linéaires tels qu'un réseau d'automotrices dans un train des chemins de fer. Lesdits système et procédé consistent à retransmettre d'amont en aval d'une ligne nodale des paquets pouvant contenir de multiples messages. L'accusé de réception desdits paquets est obtenu implicitement par l'écoute d'une retransmission subséquente du paquet, laquelle retransmission s'effectue sur une antenne en diversité en cas de non réception. La largeur de bande affectée aux messages est répartie entre les noeuds du système par un système de priorités des messages et par la réservation de parties d'un paquet pour certains types de messages. La largeur de bande affectée aux messages est également répartie par la mise en oeuvre de groupes de noeuds en tant qu'éléments actifs de la retransmission et par le remplacement périodique du groupe effectuant la retransmission.

Abstract: A telescopic body for an external bone fixation device includes a central core body and cylindrical outer parts having a bore extending therethrough, all disposed about a center axis. The outer surface of the core body is in the form of a keyed shaft, and the bore in the outer parts has keyways that mate with the shaft, thereby permitting the outer parts to be telescoped in a rotationally fixed, torsion-resistant fashion. Threaded drive spindles housed in the outer parts can be screwed into and out of the core body at either end, permitting the overall length of the telescopic body to be changed. Terminal elements are provided in the ends of the outer parts to limit travel of the drive spindles. At least one of the terminal elements may be a dynamic progression cap which, when progressively unscrewed, allows the axial clamping tension of the threaded spindle to be released in millimeter increments to permit relaxation of the axial clamping of the spindle. The degree of rigidity of the telescopic body as a whole is selectable by suitable choice of materials for each component.

Abstract: A blade cartridge including one or more blades fixed between a platform member and a cap member. The blades have apertures that allow lubricants removed from a surface of a shaver by the cutting edge of the blade to be transported through the blade and supplied to the cutting edge of the adjacent blade or to a skin engaging surface of the cap member, whichever the case may be. The apertures in the blades define flow paths that allow lubricants to reach successive cutting edges or skin engaging surfaces, thereby reducing irritation to the shaver. The blades are spaced apart by spacers that are constructed with passages that allow the free flow of lubricant through adjacent flow paths. The cap member includes passages that allow the free flow of lubricating agents through the flow paths to the skin engaging surface of the cap member. This arrangement is especially significant for razor blade cartridges having three blades, where, in conventional razor blade cartridges, the third blade and cap member are likely to encounter dry skin.

Abstract: For the production of a multi-layer material for hygiene products, materials (2) of different types are formed as webs for the different layers. At least one station (3) where the layers are brought together is separated from at least one feed (4) for a material layer (2) through an assembly layout on different planes (12,13). All or most of the fabric supply rolls (16) are stored on the same plane (13) and unwound as a supply which is not part of the product production until moved into use. Other materials, which are not wound on rolls (16), are stored on a plane to be fed to the production stations (3) on their planes (12,13). The additional material can be flocking material and/or a super absorbent with a swelling agent (possibly based on an acrylic or cellulose type) and/or deodorant materials and/or odor dampening materials and/or glue or other adhesive bondings. There is a clear division between the production plane (12) with the workstations (3), and the other plane (13) which has the supplies of materials where the fabric webs and the non-fabric components are delivered from the floor level to the upper working level (12), or they are fed downwards to the workstations. The fabric webs (2) are unrolled from supply rolls (16) on axes parallel to the production plane (12) and/or across it.

Abstract: Un alkylbenzène est alkylé avec un alcène, en la présence d'un catalyseur à alliage de sodium/potassium, sur un atome de carbone saturé lequel est en alpha par rapport au cycle, à des températures inférieures aux températures utilisées dans un procédé commercial actuel. Dans une réaction de préalkylation, on fait réagir le catalyseur avec un composé ayant un atome de carbone saturé en alpha par rapport à une double liaison afin de former une espèce catalytique. On utilise des quantités plus importantes de catalyseur dans ladite réaction de préalkylation que dans la réaction analogue dudit procédé commercial actuel. Après l'alkylation, la phase contenant le produit d'alkylation est séparée de la phase contenant l'espèce catalytique. Le procédé produit moins de produits dérivés isomères et autres produits dérivés solubles, il permet une production efficace d'alkylbenzènes à chaîne longue sans la formation de goudrons insolubles caractéristiques dudit procédé commercial actuel.
